There are modern iOS games written in Delphi last time I looked around.
I've been spending a little time with ActiveOberon, which might look familiar to a Pascal user. It's an interesting language and environment. Reminds me of Smalltalk the way the platform works (or Pharo for a modern Smalltalk environment), except you absolutely can create more "native" binaries for your environment with it.
ActiveOberon might be one of the first places async/.await style concurrency was implemented. It definitely predates Rust by a bit.
The Fox compiler is an interesting beast too! They're still working on the language. The tip of their SVN tree has enhancements over the language report that was published in 2019

Now there's ternary conditionals, functors (per C++, not Category Theory) etc.
Last update to the repo was 11 days ago. It's very much alive it seems :-)
